Sheesh, where do I even begin?
First, Commission Plans are sent in June. No seriously, my team was sent our 2023 Commission Plans in the month of June, not January.
Second, HR enables Toxic Management. I personally dealt with a new manager, a director, who insulted me relentlessly. This director and her C-Suite superior forced me out of the role for no good reason at all, though I had been crushing it for two years before I even knew those two existed. I have the LTIP & Equity award from our Company CEO just 10 months prior to prove it. I was defamed and my record of achievement was tarnished. Our HR Business Partner went along with the whole thing and did nothing to promote a decent working environment. I know the saying, "HR isn't your friend", but HR should at least make an effort to kindle a friendly and kindhearted work place. This is not something however you can expect at OneSpan.
Third, the fret of more layoffs to come will always linger. Since the new regime came to power, it's been layoffs after round of layoffs there. If you value job security, OneSpan is probably not the right fit for you.
Fourth, staying on the subject of job security, it exist however for a select few. Favoritism is real at OneSpan. Top performers are often overlooked in some departments if they are not favorites of the regime.
Fifth, OneSpan's e-Sign product does lag a bit behind competitors in several areas. With cuts to R&D made, I cannot foresee things getting better anytime soon.
Sixth, there isn't much room for growth at OneSpan. Your options to climb that corporate ladder are limited. Even if you are promoted to a new role, it's quite possible your title will technically remain as it was and that you will pretty much have the same responsibilities they promised would be off your plate. This happened to my team also. Take any promise your manager makes about what good things are coming to enable you to do your job better with a grain of salt.
Finally, training is inadequate at OneSpan. Don't expect much training. It's mostly sink or swim. Some managers, directors, will expect you to do everything their way and they will say you're doing something wrong, and when you ask them what the right way is, they won't give you a single answer.
